The “Democrats” in the House and Senate are only able to pass a bill that reinforces the ACA or expands it? Or, if the Democratic Party majority congress only gets single payer passed? OR, if the Democratic Party majority only manages to get a government option passed?

See, this is one of sooo many issues that I have with Senator BS. I have no confidence in him at all, given his history of purity tests and requirements, that he will actually sign a bill that doesn’t “measure up” to his standard.

I don’t have the same reservations about any of our other candidates. For the rest, I’m totally confident that they will pass ANY Democratic Party bill that successfully gets through all the hurdles of Congress. BS? Given his history of requiring purity to get onboard, I don’t have ANY confidence in.

ANY Democratic Party candidate BUT him, PLEASE!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
